Meet ‘Team EV World’

July 8th, 2008 admin Posted in Declassified 2 Comments »

Welcome to Team EV World. I am very pleased to introduce not only this new ‘blog’, but the founding members of the ‘team’ who have stepped up to help me advance the cause of lean, clean, green mobility that ultimately be powered by renewable energy sources from wind to solar to geothermal to ocean to hydropower.

For ten years, EV World.Com has endeavored to encourage the development and deployment of electric drive vehicle technology, most of the time single-handedly. Now I am pleased that others have joined me in this endeavor:

Sam Smith (Los Angeles, CA)
Craig Shields (Santa Ynez, CA)
Michael Brace (Cincinnati, OH)
Douglas Nelson, PhD (Blacksburg, VA)

As discussed in the ‘Meet Team EV World’ post above, the group’s purpose is to provide expert, independent technical and financial analysis of EV-relevant programs. Sam set up and ran the world’s first all-electric airport shuttle service at LAX during the California MOU period in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Craig ran his own highly respected public relations and market analysis company. Mike Brace is a highly qualified aerospace engineer who has designed a wide range of electric vehicles, as well as spacecraft. Doug is one of the leading academicians in our EV world with extensive experience in hybrid and fuel cell systems.

Together they represent a century of hands-on, real-world electric-drive vehicle experience from system design to battery manufacturing to operational logistics.

I am convinced that we are at the right place and right time to capitalize on not only the interest in, but growing hue and cry for petroleum-free forms of mobility around the planet. Converging forces of geology, geopolitics and the environment we all share necessitate we find new ways to move ourselves and our goods, ways that have a lower-carbon footprint.

It is my sincere hope that you will find this blog of value and that you contribute to the dialogue. And if you’re interested in becoming a regular ‘author’, please feel free to contact me at editor@evworld.com.
